Local Defibrillators in Harpenden
Thanks to local resident Phil Tredinnick for the suggestion that we include details on local defibrillators that can be found in Harpenden.
We've done alot of searching around and whilst there isn't a single definitive list of these, there are a few different online resources that provide details. As such, we've linked to the National Defibrillator Database from the App so simply add the postcode of your location into the search box and you will then be able to view registered defibrillators in Harpenden and the surrounding areas.
You can also use the following sites to gain information on defibrillators in Harpenden too.
A defibrillator is a device that gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest. This high energy shock is called defibrillation, and it's an essential part in trying to save the life of someone who’s in cardiac arrest. A defibrillator may also be referred to as a defib, an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) or a PAD (Public Access Defibrillator).
4 steps to take if someone is having a cardiac arrest
Cardiac arrests can happen to anyone, at any time. The following steps give someone the best chance of survival. If you come across someone in cardiac arrest:
1. Call 999
2. Start CPR
3. Ask someone to bring a defibrillator if there’s one nearby (if no one is available to get one, listen to the emergency operator for further instructions)
4. Turn on the defibrillator and follow its instructions.
For more information, read this guide to defibrillators from the Resuscitation Council.
